Royal Purple Summertime High-Low Maxi

I love dressing up! Unfortunately there’s rarely the opportunity to do so in regular life. But if there were ever a time of year to dress up, it would be now… enter the season of high school proms, college balls, grown-up galas, and even more grown-up weddings in May and June!

Reminiscing, and wanting any reason to don it again, I pulled out the beautiful high-low maxi dress I wore for my alma mater’s “Senior Ball” (effectively the college version of prom) a couple of years ago. It’s a simple-yet-stunning dress that looks as elegant and timeless as a classic gown, with a sleek modern twist. I have a minor obsession with high-low dresses (it will become more apparent as the summer progresses) and this look is perfect for those dressier occasions! I choose black and gold accents to complement the royal purple shades; a simple black and gold leatherette belt, and gold-shimmered black open-toe stilletto ruffled booties work to add a touch of edginess to the otherwise delicate-looking outfit.

It’s also a wonder what a simple pulled back bun, stunner drop earrings, and red lipstick can do for a dressy or evening look! I love how versatily functional this high-low look is—perfect for an outdoor summertime wedding, perfect for eveningwear at a fancy indoor venue, perfect for snapping pictures on a warm sunday afternoon!

Are there any fun formal events that you’ll be attending, and what are your dress style(s) of choice for events like these? Would love to hear your thoughts—feel free to drop a line in the comments below! Thanks for dropping by…
